Please don't convert the Hex View
Posted: 01 Jun 2010, 17:47
Feature Request:
In the "View" option "Hex" (Ctrl+H) of the Internal Viewer (F3) the left (hex) side should not change by choosing a "Convert" option.
Reason:
For fast scrolling I have to choose the the OEM/DOS-font "Terminal" 9 pt with the "Convert" option "ANSI -OEM" to see the German characters ÄÖÜäöüß of Windows correctly. Then for example Ö is shown wrong as 99 hex instead of D6 hex.
If I use a font like "Courier New" 9 pt then I have to choose "Don't Convert" and see Ö = D6 hex, but then I have less text on a screen and scrolling is slower.
Or can you add a font like "Terminal" 9 pt, but not with the OEM/DOS character set, which can also be chosen within the "File Comparator Configuration"?
Scrolling through the comparison of 2 binary files with 1 MB (by keeping the page down key pressed) takes my 22 seconds with the font "Terminal" 9 pt, but 74 seconds with the font "Courier New" 9 pt.
